At this time Chairman Brown called for a ten-minute recess. Upon returning from the recess, Chairman Brown called the meeting to order, with all members present. The Board considered the Firefighters Relief Funds for Northwest Pocket and Tramway Fire Districts. Finance Director Lisa Minter told Board members that in August 2006 the Commissioners approved Trustee appointments for the Fireman's Relief Fund for rural fire districts. The required paperwork was certified, notarized, and mailed to the Office of State Fire Marshal. Fire Marshal Shane Seagroves has copies of all eight district reports in his office and verified with the State Fire Marshal's Office they did receive a packet from Lee County, however, they are unable to locate paperwork for Northwest Pocket or Tramway Fire Districts. Mr. Seagroves spoke with former Fire Marshal Derrick Clouston who confirmed all documents were mailed at one time to the State Fire Marshal's Office. A certified mail receipt cannot be located in the Fire Marshal's Office so it is unclear whether the packet was sent certified mail or not. Mr. Tim Bradley, Senior Deputy Commissioner, Office of State Fire Marshall has stated that without the original certified mail receipt for the submission of the 2006 Report of Fire Condition his office could not release funds to the Northwest Pocket and Tramway districts. The Northwest Pocket Fire Department is requesting the funds that would have totaled $653.39 be paid to their district from the County's General Fund. After some discussion, Commissioner Reives moved that the Northwest Pocket and Tramway Fire Departments be paid from the County's General Fund for the 2006 Report of Fire Condition and that Chairman Brown send a letter to the State Fire Marshal's Office asking for cooperation in this matter. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Brown, Kelly, Lemmond, Paschal, Reives, and Shook Nay: None 3
